Daniel was involved in a tragic accident at the home of his grandparents, John and Elaine Hocking of Pitmans Lane, Hawarden, on August 1.

He was visiting with his parents, Laura and Jorge Peralta, who are from the Oxford area.

A friend of the family who is a doctor tried to resuscitate Daniel after the accident and continued until paramedics arrived and rushed Daniel to the Countess of Chester Hospital, before he was transferred to a specialist unit at Alder Hey.

Parents, Laura and Jorge Peralta, had kept a vigil at their son’s bedside and special prayers had also been said at the family’s churches, in Witney, Oxfordshire and at the Upton Baptist Church, Chester.

North East Wales coroner John Hughes confirmed Daniel had died from a brain injury due to drowning.
